Copenhagen Fashion Week AW25 has wrapped, leaving behind a trove of garments destined to find their way into our winter wardrobes.

For her autumn/winter '25 collection, Katrine Lund Hansen, the newly appointed head of design at Won Hundred, turned to the bold and sculptural jewellery of Danish brand AKVA to complement her vision. Titled ‘Collapse and Rebuild’, the collection called for pieces that were served as motifs of both chaos and peace – and AKVA delivered.

Amidst the denim, leather and plaid that defined the collection, AKVA’s textured, organic designs shone through. ‘Puka’ ear cuffs elevated the garments' raw edge, whilst pieces such as the slinky and elongated ‘Puka’ necklace and ‘Lactuca’ tie pin brought depth and sophistication.

To accessorise its emotionally charged autumn/winter '25 collection, Alectra Rothschild/Masculina looked to a familiar collaborator. Having teamed up once before in 2023, Copenhagen-based designer Azad Demir of Azad Jewels jumped at the chance to work again with Rothschild.

“Both Alectra and I are queer designers who create from our lived experiences,” says Demir. “I strive to challenge societal norms of gendered jewellery and approach design from an identity-driven perspective, making my work a natural fit within the Masculina universe.” For the collection, Demir crafted 15 pairs of hoop earrings in varying sizes, which were shown alongside rings adorned with gemstones, all in the same textural finish.

When seeking jewellery to complement its autumn/winter '25 collection, Gestuz opted for multigenerational Danish brand Monies. Known for its oversized, intricate designs, Monies proved the perfect match for Gestuz’s distinctive take on femininity.

The bold pieces – featuring chunky, statement earrings and necklaces – created a striking contrast against the collection’s more delicate elements, like lace dresses and flowing sheer shirts. At the same time, the pieces were deliberately absent from the collection’s more masculine looks, maintaining a thoughtful balance throughout.

It was Pilgrim Jewellery that was selected to adorn Forza Collective’s autumn/winter '25 collection this season. Amid the faux fur, suiting, and leather offered by creative director Kristoffer Kongshaug, the runway looks sparkled with bracelets and earrings from Pilgrim's elegant and fresh spring '25 collection, including pieces from its collaboration with Danish it-girl Freja Wewer.

“The Forza team kindly reached out to us, requesting pieces to emphasise the overall styling mood and direction of its AW25 collection,” says Pilgrim. “It was a juxtaposition between the sophisticated, powerful woman and the rebellious ‘good’ girl. With a timeless yet bold approach to design at both ends, this collaboration made great sense.”

For accessorising her sophomore show at Copenhagen Fashion Week, Caroline Bille Brahe of Caro Editions opted to keep it within the family. While her instantly recognisable oversized hats, bold colours and kitsch designs made their way down the runway, they were joined by jewellery provided by her sister-in-law’s eponymous brand, Sophie Bille Brahe. Models were swathed in plethoras of pearl earrings and necklaces, which served to add a touch of sophistication to the collection without detracting from its whimsical style.

When styling her autumn/winter '25 collection, creative director of Stel, Astrid Andersen, kept it local, partnering with Copenhagen-based jewellery designer Vibe Harsløf. “I adore Vibe’s unconventional approach to fine jewellery,” says Andersen. “Her play on proportion just shines through.”

It was Harsløf’s ‘bloodline’ earrings that made their way onto the runway, favoured for how they “grip the ears in an unusual, yet comforting way’ and ‘drip’ necklaces. “I love how the necklace has adjustability built in,” says Andersen. “I am committed to the same approach in each garment, to prolong the life of each product and offer variety. “I love these pieces because they speak the language of Stel in terms of empowering the wearer,” she continues. “On some pieces, you can see Vibe’s fingerprints moulded into the surface. It truly gives them a heightened sense of craftsmanship.”
